I have a desktop running a tomcat site (jira). When I go to 192.168.1.108:8080 from a device on my network I can see the site.
I now want to be able to access it through internet. For that purpose I have set up a port forwarding rule on my router, that will take connections on port range 8080 .. 8090 and forward them to IP 192.168.1.108 (need to get 2 more sites up).
When I try to access them from the internet using my dns or IP (like 1.1.1.1:8080), I get the loading icon on tab for quite some time, and then 'page not available'. Entering just the IP takes me to router page.
If I remove the port forwarding rule from router, I get 'page not available' immediately, which makes me believe something is actually going on...
Are there any steps that I am missing ? Do I need to change any settings on the server running the site ?
The server uses ubuntu server 14.04..
